Theme development

hi everyone,
i'm having trouble setting the default theme for individual users. here's what happens:

i set my drupal default theme to bluemarine.
i create a test user, and set that user's default them to pushbutton.
i log out and then log back in as test user. the first page (http://localhost/user/5) correctly shows the pushbutton theme, but if i click on any links in the navigation or go to any other pages it shows me the bluemarine theme.

what am i doing wrong?

Has any one seen any examples of a drupal forum with top notch design? I'm looking for an example of what's possible in terms of visual styling and usability. I want to create something of adobe or apple caliber.

Thanks!

for a banner / logo I'd like to offer some cut and paste html code to be dropped into an affiliate website, something like:

<textarea onfocus="this.select();" class="cutnpaste" id="mylogo"><a href="http://www.example.org/"><img src="http://www.example.org/files/logo_example.png" border="0" alt="Visit example.org now!" /></a></textarea>

Of course I want there to be a textarea with the code as the value.

Hi, I'm trying to get padding around an image using CSS. The page output code looks like this:

<div class="info">Submitted by <a href="/user/1" title="View user profile.">...</a> on Mon, 2006-11-27 15:56.<span class="terms"></span></div>
  <div class="content">
    <p><img src="

So far I have try the following in the style.css;
.content p img (
padding: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
)

Hi,

As a relatively new user to Drupal I may be talking out of turn here or if you can already do this and I haven't yet stumbled on the right module/handbook or have posted in the wrong place, then advanced apologies - I nearly raised this as an "issue" in the Drupal 5 section but thought better of it.

I have been having problems with bringing images into my drupal site. I have posted twice regarding image problems and have searched extensively for answers.

For example; On this page: http://pbolduc.com/furniture/?q=node/14 an image does come in in the content, (slab) but the other two (top and bottom) images do not.
